n-Space's ambitious online action adventure reaches Europe on 15th June with the full support of Nintendo's marketing, sales and distribution team. Yesterday GAME claimed the exclusive on the game, but Nintendo UK told Eurogamer.net it's "currently in discussion with UK retailers" about the game's sale, suggesting it could appear at other stores too.

With Nintendo behind it, here's hoping the game delivers the sales it deserves.

Connect your 3DS console online to download fresh daily challenges which allow you to earn rewards as you play. Heroes can choose to take the battle to the next level by connecting locally or over the internet to fight alongside their friends in cooperative multiplayer.In Heroes of Ruin, your adventure begins in the grand city of Nexus where a fragile peace has been shattered when a curse is placed upon the city’s ruler. Unable to find a cure, a call is sent out across the lands, promising rewards beyond measure to anyone who can find a cure. Choose from one of four unlikely heroes to answer the call and find the cure to save the city.

Heroes of Ruin challenges players to carve their own adventure as a Gunslinger, Alchitect, Vindicator or Savage. Create and customise your character and battle the elements and an array of fearsome and dangerous creatures through an environment with routes that change every time you play. Choose to form an alliance with other heroes, through four-player drop-in/drop-out multiplayer either locally or online, or go it alone, venturing forth into the wilderness to ultimately do battle with the mysterious force behind the curse.

nice hopefully they will support kingdom hearts also:) anyway the random generatedroutes/enemy spawns make this game really epic and the online only is worth buying only one question doe you speak via the mic or do you need a special headset?

On one hand it's sad that third-party games need this push on Nintendo devices to make it sell, but on the other hand: If it works, it works! What's most important is that the games get into people's hands!
